When a firearm cycles it goes through the process neccasary to fire. Step 1. A round is loaded into the firing chamber. 2. The trigger is pulled / fire sear disengages. 3 firing pin falls to strike the primer. 4. The cartridge fires. 5. Spent casing is ejected manually or mechanically. 6. Refer back to step 1.

In the case of semi automatic pistols all steps are mechanical except the intial loading and the pulling of the trigger, these REQUIRE human intervention in the cycle. It is easy to tell when a semi auto pistol cycles properly because you can see the slide (the long top half) of the firearm push to the back (ejecting spent casing) then ram forward (loading next cartridge into firing chamber). This is usually pretty hard to see with the naked eye but when slowed down it becomes very obvious.

Not trying to debunk anything, since there's been no evidence presented to debunk.

But I already said that you're not going to get a quality recording on a cell phone video.

You've asked me the exact same thing several times. Is that necessary?

Not that you can see on a shitty cell phone video, anyway.

But I already said that you're not going to get a quality recording on a cell phone video. Does anyone even know what sort of phone he was using?

There isn't actually enough force applied by a bullet to spin or push someone. Any time you see that happening it's actually the person's own body reacting to getting shot.

Can't speak to the reactions of the folks there, though.

I've looked at the original video a few times and I don't see a hit at all anywhere.

You should post a link, never knew about that.

So we are talking about Hillary now? I thought we were talking about some other stuff. Even if we are talking about Hillary, what would be her motive? Why would she want to put emails on that server? Please the answer as simplistic as possible. In my mind, I can use one word to describe Hillary's actions. Also, you think Hillary has that much power?!?

where the fuck were the ejected casing in the shooting?!? that's nuts

I went back and looked at several sources of the footage. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like the first shot was a miss low right as he got too focused on his phone to bother aiming. I also noticed that, despite other comments on this post, you can see the slide moving into battery. As for the reaction time, I've seen an RPD burst fly within inches of dudes skull with zero response. Human behavior is odd in stressful situations. It's part of the whole OODA cycle; sometimes it takes a bit to get past observe and orient. Finally, everytime the footage gets re-uploaded it becomes less and less reliable. I wish I had saved a copy when it first happened.

He definitely missed most if not all of those shots. You can't just hip fire a pistol and expect it to hit its mark unless you have years of practice which he clearly has none

Can someone link me to the original video on a reliable source? I have never actually seen it so Id be really interested if its the exact same as used in the video.

Also who could be behind this? BLM trying to incite a race war or white power trying to discredit blacks?

I have to be that guy that points out your title is incorrect. Both videos show two different firearms and they could very easily be two different calibers. The over simplification going on here is less than damning of the VA event.

The only thing that bothers me about the VA footage is that the pistol does not cycle in between shots, as it should or by manual manipulation.

Interesting but consider, glocks come in many different cartridge sizes, and many behave somewhat differently. My 40cal never fed like my 9mm, otherwise the same frame. Customized internals and grips make a difference in recoil, by changing trigger force and fulcrum point respectively.

Because real life isn't as exciting as the movies make it out to be.

WTF is with that loud ass static, fuck this video.

How so?

Different type of ammo fired from a different gun would produce different recoil, muzzle flash, and impact.

Obviously you're not going to kick up a big dirt cloud on a wooden pier. Also, the guy on the left might have a shitty grip. Also also, he might be limp-wristing on purpose.

Different shutter speeds or framerates would also effect how it's recorded.

Show me the same gun with the same ammunition recorded on the same phone with the same video settings and you'll have a good start.

I usually don't get behind this sort of thing but the evidence is right there.

In order to prove anything, though, you need more evidence of where the dead reporter and camera man are. You need to prove motive that these otherwise simple people could somehow be used by whatever global dominating hand you believe in. You'd need to have the interviewee in on it as well. You'd also need to prove motive for why a global dominating organization would have done anything like this. This guy wanted to start a race war against white people and was also gay. People aren't buying any of that in terms of anything changing as a result of this attack.

I get that the attack would seem fake barring any other information. But there's a lot more to a hoax like that then just a fake video. People died, yes? Autopsy reports, coroner's evidence, family members attending funerals, etc.

There are too many people involved which too many moving parts. Someone, somewhere would talk if this was fake. Same with Sandy Hook, 9/11, the moon landing. The real conspiracies are when there are very few people involved.

not to mention there was no slide movement in the VA footage. That's not how a gun works people...

That's pretty damning, the recoil is way off in the VA footage. Also, no impacts.
